Hi
Friends!
Today
I am sharing another fun Mixed Media Christmas card using a few Sweet ‘n Sassy Stamps- Home
for the Holidays, Texture
Tiles 1, Texture
Tiles 4 and Scene
Silhouettes: Trees.
For
the layout I used the #503 Mojo Sketch Challenge and am also linking this card
to the Word Art Wednesday #362-#36.3 ”Anything Goes” Challenge and the Hand StampedSentiments #303 Inspiration Challenge (I was inspired by the snow scenes and the green colors).
If
you have not had a chance to visit the above challenge sites or the SNSS Blog/FB Page yet, I encourage
you to do so- gorgeous inspiration from all!
Also,
don’t forget- Sweet ‘n Sassy Stamps
is continuing to celebrate their 11th birthday this month! This week’s special
is 11% off Sentiment, Fall and Christmas stamps plus with any net order of $60
(US), you can choose one of four top selling stamp sets as your November Stamp
of the Month-hurry, though- both offers are good through November 30th!
To
create this card:
1).
De-static a piece of white cardstock with an embossing powder tool, stamp the truck image and
sentiment from Home
for the Holidays with Versafine™ Onyx Black Ink, apply clear embossing
powder and heat set with a heat tool.
Watercolor the truck with distress ink along with water-based markers and
die cut the sentiment with a stitched circle die. Fussy-cut the truck image and
set aside.
2). Die cut a white circle with a stitched circle
die for the scene behind the truck, mask the snow bank area, ink the pine tree
image from Scene
Silhouettes: Trees with olive ink, stamp along the edge to create the tree line,
remove the mask and use a blue ink to sponge a bit of shadows on the snow. Watercolor the sky area with berry ink, die
cut with a stitched circle die and mount onto a circle die cut from gray
cardstock and then again onto dark blue cardstock. Add a bit of splatter with the splatter image
from Texture Tiles 1 using dark blue ink and use a Sharpie®
Extra Fine White Paint Pen to add snowflakes to the scene.
3).
On a 4” x 5 ¼” piece of white cardstock, ink the grid image from Texture
Tiles 1 with dark blue ink and stamp repeatedly to create the pattern. Lightly spritz with water, mount onto gray
cardstock, trim and mount onto dark blue cardstock.
4).
Create the plaid horizontal strip using white cardstock and stamping the plaid
image from Texture
Tiles 4 first with dark blue ink, then again with olive ink. Die cut the horizontal strip with a stitched die
and create the corners by hand. Add the
corners and insert a silver brad in the center of each.
5).
Layer the blue hemp twine, wrapping the ends behind the panel and mount the
card front onto the white card base.
6).
Add the die cut/layered circles onto the card front dimensional foam, mount the
bow with the green button and add a bit of shimmer to the truck with a silver
glitter pen.
